About Pimientos del padron
Pimientos del Padrón are small, vibrant green peppers originating from the Galicia region of Spain. Traditionally a staple of Spanish tapas cuisine, these peppers are typically sautéed in olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt for a simple yet flavorful dish. Most Padrón peppers are mild, but a few can surprise with a spicy kick, adding an element of unpredictability to the experience. They are low in calories and rich in vitamins C and K, as well as antioxidants like capsaicin—important for reducing inflammation and boosting metabolism. Their high fiber content supports digestion. When prepared with heart-healthy olive oil, they can be a nutritious option, though consuming them with excessive salt could counteract some health benefits. Overall, Pimientos del Padrón are a delightful and wholesome addition to meals, celebrating the simplicity and vibrancy of Mediterranean cuisine.
